1 - it’s because Sam was publicly claiming that the trading platform and the traders were completely firewalled from one another, and had no special info, as would normally (e.g. in the US) be legally required to make trading fair, but which is impossible if the CEOs are dating
2 - I’m not objecting the spending. It was clear at the time that he was promoting an image of frugality that wasn’t accurate. One example here, but there are many more.
3 - A lot of different Alameda people warned some people at the time of the split. For a variety of reasons, I believe that those who were more involved would have been warned commensurately more than I was (someone who was barely involved).
4 - Perhaps, but it is negligent not to follow this rule, when you’re donating money from an offshore crypto exchange.
5 - I’m just going off recollection, but I believe he was under serious-sounding US govt investigation.
1 - Oh I see. So who knew that Sam and Caroline continued to date while claiming that FTX and Alameda were completely separate?
2 - You link to a video of a non-EA saying that Sam drives a corolla and also has a shot of his very expensive-looking apartment...what about this is misleading or inaccurate? What did you expect the EAs you have in mind to ‘disclose’ - that FTX itself wasn’t frugal? Was anyone claiming it was? Would anyone expect it to have been? Could you share some of your many actual examples?
3 - (I don’t think you’ve addressed anything I said in this section, so perhaps we should just leave it there.)
4 - Perhaps, but as I indicated, it looks like it wouldn’t have made much difference anyway.
5 - (Okay, it looks like we should just leave this one there too.)
